Hello Team RIU - i am seeking your wise advice. These are 46 days into flower on some Afghani Bullriders - 53-60 is the reccomended flower time. What do you think. Most of the fan leaves have yellowed and died...hairs are mostly red and turned back inward...the Trics are hard to tell with this being my first time - seem cloudy with maybe one of two ambers around.

Do you think they will be ready in a week?

Thanks - jj

yes i think they be ready in a week. a week 1/2 wont hurt. but if your hurting for smoke. you can always harvest a bud or 2 off the bottom of the plant. dry it and smoke it. and then harvest the rest after. =D hard to tell with the yellow glare from the HPS tho. if you can/have time. could u take pics with the HPS lights off? will be much easier to judge. but from wat i can see and with ur description. a week - a week 1/2 should be good

lookin good man. nice and frosty! yeaa id say about a week 1/2 on those as well. =) its always worth the wait man... like i tell alot of people on here...

**** you never hear of people harvesting plants too late.... but you ALWAYS hear of people harvesting too early**** if youve waited a 3-7 week veg period... and like 7-8 weeks flowering... then u can wait an extra week or 2. =)


PS ta5rtdrp16in - that was not to you. lol. didnt want ya to think i was talkin to ya. im just postin that in general to tell other people. =) keep up the good work guys. they all look great for 1st/2nd grows. =D

I think you mean the trichomes aka resin glands. the calyx shows up in preflower
If you have a flash, take a picture when the lights are off, I can get a better look

I see what you are saying. swollen buds. Just say swollen buds, I'm still not convinced on the term swollen calyx. That was a newbie thread. I'm not going to say your wrong for sure, but yes bud density is a factor in determining if a plants finished. Also pistol color and leaf yellowing are factors. But the best way to tell for sure is by looking in the crystals to see if they are cloudy. Thats where the main ingredient is stored. THC If the resin glands are still clear and/or have flat tops then they are not ready. If they look swollen and cloudy, they are ready. If you wait to long they turn amber red. thats not good. Get a magnifying glass with at least 10x optical works good

Thanks guys - per your request here are two photos with the HPS turned off. 47 Days into flower today - Bullrider Strains with some autoflower tendencies. A few more days a week? I have the scope from Radio Shack, but it is hard to tell how cloudy the trics actually are...

The plant in the yellow pot has only been in the Sanctuary of Grand Buddage (AKA flower room) for about a week - so that is obviously not in question.

I think I can see 4 in the picture that are finished. the other 3 are not. What strain is it and what are the humidity levels like in your grow room?
We need to determine if the dark hairs are genetic, or if its because of excessive moisture

Of the four that look finished - 3 are Afghani Bullrider and 1 is a Jack Herer.

I am in AZ, so the humidity levels are between 40-48% (this is the worst month of the year for humidity in the desert)

Thanks again for your help.

they look ready
your humidity levels are fine. arizona is a dry state. Even in the humid season its dry. you could probably even get away with running a swamp cooler, thats what I do. One of the few benefits of growing indoors in the desert.

summer time + desert climate + growing indoors= get a swamp cooler lol
